Barge Transportation Market Expected To Trigger A Revenue Increase To USD 140.62 Billion By 2025:Key Participant Heartland Barge, and Kirby Corporation

San Francisco, 06 December 2018, The global barge transportation market size is anticipated to reach USD 140.62 billion by 2025, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc., rising at a CAGR of 3.4% during the forecast period.

The market is projected to witness significant growth over the forecast period, thanks to growing intermodal transportation in several industries including petrochemicals, crude oil, and food processing. Several initiatives undertaken by various governments to encourage inland water transport and continued investments being made by various governments to develop inland water transport infrastructure. North America is expected to offer tremendous growth opportunities for the barge transportation market owing to presence of several barge manufacturers and service providers, growing exports and imports, and abundance of waterways.

Barge transportation can be considered a cost-effective and high-capacity mode of transportation as compared to other modes of transport, such as road, rail, and air. Barges can support higher loads and ensure safety, particularly when it comes to transportation of large volumes of cargos. As a result, adoption of barges is expected to increase over the forecast period.

Increasing spending on research and development activities and subsequent advancements in technology are resulting in development of technologically advanced barges. LNG-fired barges are emerging as an environmentally-friendly alternative for conventional barges powered by diesel engines. Advancements in communication and navigation technologies coupled with growing adoption of IoT and other smart technologies are triggering the efficiency and safety factor of barges.

The barge transportation market remains highly vulnerable to developments in the end-use industries, particularly the crude oil and petrochemicals industries. The growth in the petrochemical industry and emerging opportunities in ethanol production are expected to positively influence the growth of the market. For instance, Kirby Corporation has recently acquired Higman Marine, Inc. owing to increasing opportunities in petrochemical and ethanol transportation activities.

Robotic Prosthetics Market Expected To Trigger A Revenue Increase To USD 1.76 Billion By 2025:Key Participant Zoetis, QIAGEN, IDvet

San Francisco, 05 December 2018, The global robotic prosthetics market is expected to reach USD 1.76 billion by 2025, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Increase in amputee population due to various factors, such as accidents, frostbite, diabetes, and vascular disease, is one of the crucial factors expected to drive the market in the coming years. According to the data published by Amputee Coalition, there are approximately 2.1 million amputees living in the U.S. According to the Statistics Brain Research Institute, 82% of the amputations are performed due to vascular disease, 22% of cases are due to trauma and 4% cases are due to congenital disabilities. Rise in prevalence of diabetes and vascular diseases, is anticipated to increase the demand for prosthetics over the forecast period.

Increasing number of technologically advanced products, such as SYMBIONIC LEG 3, RHEO KNEE, PROPRIO FOOT, and POWER KNEE, is anticipated to raise product awareness in developed regions, such as North America and Europe, thus increasing the demand for such devices. In 2015, Ossur developed a mind-controlled prosthetic leg; which is undergoing clinical trials for its assessment. Growing R&D activities and increasing investment by private and public players to technologically upgrade prosthetic products are among the few factors expected to propel the market.

Various initiatives undertaken by the government and nonprofit organizations, such as CDC, Douglas Bader Foundation, Limbless Association, Amputee Coalition, to provide assistance to amputees are increasing the interest of private players to invest in this market. April is considered Limb Loss Awareness Month. It helps create awareness about the limb loss community and helps people affected by limb loss achieve their full potential.

Metal Foam Market Expected To Trigger A Revenue Increase To USD 117.7 Million By 2025:Key Participant Zoetis, QIAGEN, IDvet

San Francisco, 04 December 2018, The global metal foam market is expected to reach USD 117.7 million in 2025, growing at a CAGR of 4.1%, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Metal foams have seen a vast spectrum of development in the recent years, with further intensified research being carried out on this multifunctional material class. Despite the various value-additions catered by metal foams, there still exists an imbalance between the properties offered and the substantial utilization. A major factor influencing this is the high cost of metal foams. 

Increasing environmental concerns and stringent automotive pollution control norms have forced automotive manufacturers to monitor the pollution. Vehicular curb weight is one of the most important factors affecting the fuel efficiency. Usage of lightweight porous metallic materials in a body frame not only results in the reduction in some parts being used but also in the curb weight, thus drastically increasing fuel efficiency and reducing vehicular pollution.

The major foundry owners are working to pave a path out by overcoming issues related to economies of scale, high capital costs, labor law issues and government regulations related to procurement of aluminum. Usage of aluminum is likely to be taken over by steel and composite wood, mainly for the construction applications. Similarly, a wide range of opportunities pursued by pro-active metal casters who face the substitution threats, have considered converting weldments to castings.

Typical functional applications of metal foams include sound absorption, fragmentation capture, impact absorption, heat sinks and exchangers, the matrix for chemical bed and scrubbers, filters and mist elimination of water and oils, core structure for high strength panels, battery plates and spacers, automotive and aeronautical light-weighting, and catalyst surfaces.

Further key Findings from the Study Suggest: 

·         The global metal foam demand was 1.60 kilo tons in 2016 and is expected to reach 2.24 tons by 2025, growing at an estimated CAGR of 3.8% from 2017 to 2025

·         Europe metal foam market is estimated to be valued at USD 19.1 million in 2016 and is expected to be the fastest growing market over the forecast period

·         In terms of revenue, Aluminium accounted for 35.6% of the global market and is also expected to witness fastest growth over the next nine years

·         As of 2016, Germany accounts for around 35% of the European metal foam demand and is also expected to retain its dominance over the forecast period as well
